Abstract
An imaging optical system comprises adjusters for adjusting a shape of each of at least two reflecting surfaces by applying a force to a rear surface of each of the reflecting surfaces. Points obtained by projecting force acting points of the adjusters in an optical axis direction defined with respect to the reflecting surface are defined as correction points, the acting points are set such that, when first and second rays in a light flux emitted from one point on the object plane are reflected by first and second reflecting surfaces, the first ray strikes the correction point of the first reflecting surface but does not strike the correction point of the second reflecting surface, and the second ray does not strike the correction point of the first reflecting surface but strikes the correction point of the second reflecting surface.
